May have been a name brought up in interviews. I don’t know, obviously. But, a few of the candidates may have said they would consider him, so ownership wants to talk to him in the interim
His tenure in ATL was flat defensively outside 2017. That's his specialty.
His team made a SB and should have won. Blame the defense but the offense shit the bed in the second half of that game.
Quinn is a good coach and quite honestly would be a VERY good HC again. If he were to get an OC with some serious balls we could in great shape.
If the NEW GM (unnamed at the moment) is behind this candidate are you going to piss and moan about it. We have all said let the GM choose his coach, which I believe we would be interviewing guys the GM candidates have asked for, adn he chooses Quinn didn't we get what we wanted?
The first guy they put in a request to is Dan Quinn?
He was a good HC and he will get the D straightened out. No more Bend but don’t Break Rod Rust Defense! He will need a rockstar OC as Shanahan was the architect of the offense that took them to a Super Bowl and should have won it! His last year was not good and he had two subpar years after the SB year, but still a respectable 43-42 record. He grew up in New Jersey and he wears his cap backwards, which is cool! He gets cool points for that anyway!

So the Giants did put in a request to interview Cowboys DC Dan Quinn for their head coaching job, per a source, despite not having a GM.
My understanding is they saw the interest others had in Quinn and wanted to get in the game so he remains an option for their eventual GM.
talk to as many people around the league from other teams as you can. Maybe the Giants didn't want to miss a chance to talk to the Dallas DC before he take a job somewhere else.
I would say that when they interviewed the GM candidates they received the names of some of the coaches that they would be interested in. They are now securing interviews and letting them know there is interest before they get hired by other teams and are no longer available.
This is the smart thing to due. It informs those coaches that they are interested and possibly delays them from being hired. The Giants can always cancel the interview if the hired GM is not interested. I am sure that the Giants will have made a decision on the new GM by tomorrow night and could start HC interviews as soon as Friday or this weekend.
It actually has a significant negative, namely the ownership situation. The head coach will still make out well if new ownership wants their own head coach, but Quinn may not want to screw the quality control coach who is getting paid a fraction of what Quinn is. By making the request it delays Quinn just taking the Denver job.
On the Giants level of the last 5 years.
Started 1-7 and 0-5 before being fired.
Rosy glasses are you getting the first years in Atlanta or last year's Quinn.
I wouldn't risk it.

The tricky part is you can do this for every coach out there.
Flores had a year that people accused him of tanking. This year he had a 1-7 stretch. Never made the playoffs.
Daboll has had no success in the NFL until Josh Allen.
for a period of time. He did good work with the Cowboys and he is going to be on the list. But, I won't a bright, energetic offensive voice in the mold of Shanhannan, McVeigh, etc.
If we are going the retread road, not sure why Quinn over Pederson. Pederson won the game Quinn blew, made playoffs three of five years, won a playoff game and was an Alshon Jeffery drop from probably going back to the Championship game.
A lot of times you hear “no first time coach this time”, but then when Quinn gets an interview request, the reaction is “no way”. I don’t want Quinn, but did get to a super bowl.
Whoa. This is hard to reconcile with Ranaan's report. Who is going to interview him? Someone here speculated that all three GM candidates may have listed him. But so what? Are they just making appointments for the new GM? Did they get all three to give them their appointment calendars?
they will go ballistic with Quinn calling the shots. He had that SB with the Falcons won. All he had to do is run the ball, or take a knee, and kick a FG. If the Giants had lost that game in that manner, he would have been run out of the city. Folks want him calling the shots come game time?

This is going to happen no matter what. Tom Coughlin is the best HC I've seen on a regular basis in my lifetime. His OC once called 55 throws in gale force winds. They coached themselves into a loss. It happens.

There’s a reason he’s a hot candidate.
He did a great job transforming the Dallas D. That work should earn him interviews. I just think, however, like a Norv Turner, he's just a better coordinator. And a very good one.
At least a guy like Pederson was actually a SB winner and made the playoffs both years after winning the SB. So, I would think he'd be more attractive as we see more and more offensive minded HCs in the playoffs.

Requesting an interview is not the same as interviewing.
RE: The first guy they put in a request to is Dan Quinn?
Or the first candidate that was reported. Quinn is a very hot name for several teams including Denver and Miami. The Giants don't want to miss out on Quinn if the new GM wanted to interview him.
Quinn actually has a winning record in the playoffs (3-2)
very bad. They had some hits, but there were a lot of holes in the roster.
The head coach is involved in that though. That is not a plus for me for Quinn. I mean, look the GM's job is to get players the coach thinks he can work with. I am not saying Quinn is at the table identifying every FA or late round draft pick, but presumably he was a key contributor in those conversations. So, a bad talent pool, speaks to Quinn's evaluations.
Likely means we are hiring someone soon and whoever we were hiring, HC's were discussed. Its also just an interview.

That being said… hell no to Dan Quinn
I would assume his name came up in interviews with candidates.
Perhaps Quinn made all three GM lists.
;>)
I wonder if this news has anything to do with that?
His tenure in ATL was flat defensively outside 2017. That's his specialty.

Some of that was also due to Dimitroff's misses in the draft.
Quinn did some decent work turning around a unit this year in Dallas with more talent spread after Nolan drove that unit into the abyss.
But that said, I'm lukewarm on bringing him here too as you are.

Kudos to him for putting together a nice D-Coord performance this season, but I would "pass" here...

I bet they go with an offensive minded HC as Fangio, a Defensive guy, just got fired.

They made the playoffs in 2017 too but didn't do much there. Never made it again after 2017.
That is my guess

We are on the verge of finding out who is going to lead this franchise out of the abyss.

Harbaugh has baggage
Quinn has bad seasons

remember that defensive roster?
pretty sure he didn't have the ideal personnel, funny how that works.
There’s a reason he’s a hot candidate.

His regular and postseason winning percentages are a bit inferior to Coughlin’s but they are in the ballpark.
I wonder if Dallas accepts.
